Du Bois worked hard to help the black population overcome the negative stereotypes
whites had on blacks. He informed the public that the injustice of whites was the sole
reason African Americans lived in poverty, not because they lacked the ability to prosper.
The image we used to support Du Bois idea was of a woman taking care of her children
under extreme poverty conditions.

In our overview page of Du Bois life we found quotes of how he impacted the nation.
We also mention the final events of his life, briefly mentioning his time in Ghana.
This led to our search to find an image of Du Bois during his life in Ghana. The image
illustrates a profile of an elderly Du Bois wearing glasses.

The Great Migration was an event in history that would lead to the Harlem Renaissance.
As blacks moved North, they still faced the oppression and racism they experienced in

the South. We wanted to illustrate this in our Great Migration page. To do so, we found
an image of a poor black family that had recently moved to Chicago living under harsh
conditions, which shows that there wasnt immediate economic improvement after
moving.

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois both had philosophies that often contradicted
each other. For example, Washington believed African Americans should give up certain
political rights, but Du Bois believed that would further prolong the injustice inflicted by
whites. We wrote about Du Boiss criticism of Washington. Therefore, we browsed for an
image of Booker T. Washington alone and placed it in Du Bois encounter of Washington.

This image that we added illustrates Du Bois concept of the veil. It shows a man under a
white layer, which is the veil that covers the mans true identity, also explained by Du
Bois. He talks about this concept in The Souls of Black Folk. This veil limited
opportunities for blacks.

We wrote about Du Bois new concepts for example, the veil. Du Bois explores this
concept in the black population. Du Bois thought that African Americans were under a
veil that prevented whites from seeing them as real men. He explains this in The Souls of
Black Folk, even mentioning some experiences when he was younger. To illustrate this,
we looked up an image of a female coated with a white layer, representing the veil.

W.E.B. Du Bois found the Niagara Movement in 1905. This movement opposed Booker
T. Washington, who believed in disenfranchisement. The first meeting took place in
Niagara Falls, hence the name. We found a picture online that would support our Niagara
Movement page. The picture displays a group of people, including Du Bois, at Niagara
Falls. We would use this image to illustrate the founders of the Niagara Movement.

World War II is yet another major event in history. Hitler and his Nazi Partys foreign
policies and Japans military invasions are some factors that led to this extensive war.
However, Du Bois was appalled by the war. He believed that the war was solely for
imperialistic efforts and he did not want to be associated with it. The image we used to
illustrate WWII in our social dynamics page was German soldiers marching.

During the Reconstruction period, many African Americans in the South were stuck as
sharecroppers, a system structured to ensure that they provided cheap agricultural labor
for the benefit of white landlords. We wanted to show how bad this system was. We
chose an image that illustrated a poor black family stuck in the sharecropping system.

One of the very important concepts that Du Bois coined was called double consciousness.
We knew that Du Bois was aware that blacks did not have a sense of self-consciousness,
that they were perceived two different ways: one by the whites and one by their own
kind. To illustrate this concept, we found a picture of 2 Du Bois looking at each other.
This represents the two-ness of Du Bois, or double consciousness.

The Great Migration was a period of a large relocation of blacks from the South to the
North for social and economic improvement. We wrote about The Great Migration to
give background information of what happened before Du Bois worked as an activist. To
illustrate this we found a painting by Jacob Lawrence that clearly shows how hectic it
was in train stations heading to cities in the North.

Booker T. Washington and W.E.B. Du Bois were two influential leaders of the black
population during the early eighteenth century. However, the two had opposing beliefs.
Du Bois considered Washington his rival. To show this in Du Bois encounter of

During the Reconstruction period, racism was high and whites often assaulted blacks by
lynching them. Lynching was a big part of the Reconstruction period and we wanted to
show how bad it was. We illustrated it by finding an image of a black man who was
accused of raping a white woman being lynched. His body was left hanging on the tree.
This represented the severe lynchings that happened during Reconstruction.

However, he had a vast repertoire of jobs ranging from teaching to writing. After writing
the overview of Du Bois life, we decided to search for an image of an older Du Bois. In

World War I is in no doubt a major event in history. The assassination of Archduke Franz
Ferdinand in Sarajevo on 28th June 1914 instigated the events that led to the war. The
powerful countries of the world allied against each other. In our website we briefly
mentioned the World War I in the social dynamics Du Bois was involved in. He
encouraged African Americans to enlist in the war. To illustrate this we searched for an
image of black soldiers.

In Philadelphia, Du Bois explored many residents within the city by conducting a social
experiment on many African Americans daily lives. Going from house to house, he
conducted personal interviews in order to analyze the conditions of blacks in
Philadelphia. He recorded his data and findings in his book, The Philadelphia Negro. We
decided to find a picture of the cover of The Philadelphia Negro in order to illustrate our
social experiment page.

Du Bois thought that one tenth of the black population could lead the mass to create
growth in America. He called those people The Talented Tenth. He wrote an essay
describing his idea of these people. We looked for an image of The Talented Tenth. One
that we found was a few black intellectuals standing next to each other, which
represented The Talented Tenth.

We mentioned the Cold War in our social dynamics page of our website. This war
happened after the events of WWII, due to the battle for power between the Western Bloc
and Eastern Bloc. Nevertheless, Du Bois sympathized with Marxism since it promoted
racial equality. Throughout his career he fought to achieve equality between whites and
blacks. To illustrate the time period of the Cold War we searched for an image of people
protesting the war.

decided to insert an image of Du Bois when he was a young adult in a school uniform.

Du Bois is remembered for his work as an African American activist. We wanted to show
his dedication in helping blacks throughout his life. To do so we placed an image of Du
Bois during the Niagara Movement. In the picture he is in deep thought which further
illustrates Du Bois was an analytical man who carefully contemplated his ideas.

A majority of our website focused on William Edward Burghardt Du Bois perspective
on racism and his ideas on how to improve the lives of African Americans. Therefore, we
wanted to symbolize this goal on our home page. To do this we searched for an American

flag that was black and white. We searched for one that looked the most realistic and
placed it besides our thesis on the homepage.

The N.A.A.C.P., National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, was
founded by W.E.B. Du Bois along with other members. This organization was created to
fight against lynching but also to ensure equality for blacks. We wanted to illustrate the

year, 1909, that the organization was found.

organization. After reading this source, we had an understanding on important actions
that Du Bois took.
